Get at least a 10K arena before you go up. And if you do go up and you're struggling to stay out of 7th and you still aren't earning money than it would be a lot faster to tank out and come back up strong. I tanked out my first season in D3, won D4 again no problem and almost won D3 the very next season.

Definitely agree with him with regards to the arena. Money is spent on players, but it is invested when put into the arena. Spend cheaply, but invest wisely!

And if you do promote with the promotion bonus, jack up your ticket prices. The promotion effect is real, it is powerful, and you certainly want to have as many seats in your arena as possible to truly profit from it.

Good advice. But, the other division is weak at the bottom. So, I have a very good chance at avoiding relegation.

Why do you have 15 players? That averages out to 48 minutes per player per week. You don't need to be paying guys that you will never play. 11-12 is better for gameshape and for cutting down the cost of your salary's.

The first thing you mentored me on: Players

You're supposed to have 10-12 playerrs on your roster. And somehow last season YOU only had 8, I guess cause of financial difficulties........I got 12, well gonna be 11 if I sell Roche to get back in the green, I hate the ASB cause I have a road game and It caused me to get into debt! -35k......

I have an unconventional roster at the moment. It killed me last season as two injuries at the beginning of the playoffs set me back so far that I didn't make it past the first round. I'm also unable to train anybody and have a staff salary of 18k. It's an economy that is 150% committed to promoting and fielding the best team possible short term.

High risk high reward. Don't try it at home ;)

So "IF" I promote i can boost ticket prices?
I ge the idea of putting money back into the arena. I am planning on getting my arena size to min. 10K this season.

Maybe try and hit 12K when i am in DIV III.
